Output to a device
Studio can create movie files that are compatible with a range of devices, including the ones listed below.
Apple
Microsoft Xbox and Xbox One
Nintendo Wii
Sony PS3 and PS4
Sony PSP
If you are exporting a stereoscopic 3D project, you will be offered the 3D formats compatible with the selected device.
* Apple
Studio supports exporting files that are compatible with popular Apple devices like iPod, iPhone and iPad, and Apple TV as well.
The file format used for iPod and iPhone compatible devices is based on MPEG-4 video compression technology. The combination of powerful compression with a small 320x240 frame size produces very small output files relative to the more expansive formats. The three quality presets select different data rates, each providing a different balance of quality and file size.
Apple TV as well as iPad compatible files are based on the H.264 video compression standard. Output frame size is either 960x540 for Apple TV (first generation) or 720p (later generations).
* Microsoft Xbox and Xbox One
Microsoft Xbox presets allow you to create files for full-screen playback on your Xbox. Two formats are available: DivX SD based on MPEG-4 video compression technology, and WMV HD.
* Nintendo Wii
Pinnacle Studio can generate files for playback on your Nintendo Wii with the support of both AVI and FLV output formats.
* Sony PS3 and PS4
You can export files to your PlayStation by selecting the Sony PS3 or Sony PS4 export type. Studio supports the following file formats: Full size, which is in DivX file format at 720 x 400, and HD 1080/60i.
* Sony PSP
Studio allows you to export files which are compatible with the popular Sony PlayStation Portable devices. Output files are based on MPEG-4 video compression technology.
As with the iPod-compatible type, the combination of powerful compression with a small 320x240 frame size produces very small output files relative to other formats.
